History Characters / FireEmblemPathOfRadianceGreilMercenaries

* IdiotHair: Has one sticking up at the top of her head.

* IdiotHair: She has a prominent Ahoge, emphasizing her GenkiGirl traits.

* MsFanservice: In ''Radiant Dawn'', she gets a little bustier, and shows it off quite nicely in the cutscene at the end of Part 2. However in ''Heroes'', this is actually averted, which is notable given that the game loves to make existing characters HotterAndSexier. Mia's regular version is based on her younger, slimmer appearance from ''Path of Radiance'', while her two versions that hail from ''Radiant Dawn'' are also a bit reserved and modest in physique, despite even having a summer version in a swimsuit.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Ike has a lot of ShipTease with characters of both genders; in particular, he has very close relationships with Soren and Ranulf, which aren't shown to be outright ''romantic'', but are closer than the bonds he forms with any of the other characters apart from his own family. Meanwhile, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' reveals that he has a descendant named Priam, who is confirmed to be directly descended from Ike and even wields an older Ragnell.

** Driven home with [[spoiler:his unlockable scene (after A Support) with Ike in ''Radiant Dawn'', [[CryCute where he breaks down into tears.]]]]

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: The first hit of his mastery skill, Aether, consists of jumping several meters high and performing multiple somersaults before striking the enemy. He also performs this in ''Super Smash Bros.'' whenever he uses Aether there.

* SixthRanger: She is not initially part of the Greil Mercenaries, only having joined the group a little while into the game [[spoiler:before Greil kicks the bucket]]. However, she becomes a part of the group by the end of the game, is considered one of them, and helps [[spoiler:save Lucia at the end of Part 2]] alongside them. Even in ''Heroes'', while owing to her popularity, an even younger version of her exists as a variant alongside young versions of Ike (and Mist), Soren and Boyd. [[note]]Ilyana too, but she's the odd one out there.[[/note]]

* MsFanservice: In an odd reversal of the games usual infamous reputation of upping many characters' fanservice quotas, her appearances in Fire Emblem Heroes avert this. Her physique is usually based on her Path of Radiance look, so her breasts and overall figure are slimmer. Even her summer alt is rather reserved.

* SixthRanger: She joined the Greil Mercenaries by the end of ''Path of Radiance''.

** At a young age, revealed through his support conversations with Ike, it's revealed that Soren had not yet learned how to even talk due to his very neglectful background. He was eventually able to learn how to speak with the help of some priests, and reunited with Ike in the present day.
** Soren's past is even integrated in ''Heroes'', as Soren has a variant of his younger version alongside younger versions of Ike and a few of the other Greil Mercenaries. While all other units in the game are full of voiced dialogue and quotes, young Soren's quotes consist ''solely'' of small voice grunts and silence. The poor boy's Lv 40 quote is even the shortest one of them all.

** At a young age, revealed through his support conversations with Ike, it's revealed that Soren had not yet learned how to even talk due to his very neglectful background. It takes the help of Ike to get him to slowly [[DefrostingIceKing but surely]] open up, and he's at least able to talk in the present day, [[DeadpanSnarker albeit usually with some snark]].
** Soren's past is even integrated in ''Heroes'', as Soren has a variant of his younger version (alongside younger versions of Ike and a few of the other Greil Mercenaries). While all other units in the game are full of voiced dialogue and quotes, young Soren's quotes consist ''solely'' of small voice grunts and silence. The poor boy's Lv 40 quote is even the shortest one of them all.

* NeverLearnedToTalk: By the time of the plot, Soren is definitely able to talk, but a few of his support conversations with Ike make clear that when he met Ike, he had not learned yet (and probably would have been getting close to eight or nine-ish around then). He had a super-neglectful background.

* BadassNormal: In an army full of magic users, knights on pegasi and wyverns, and even shapeshifting animals, Ike manages to perform excellently in battle. [[spoiler:He even defeated a goddess! Granted, he had the blessing of and couldn't have done it without another goddess, but still.]] He also qualifies compared to all the other ''Fire Emblem'' protagonists, too; while they have the blood of ancient heroes (or the blood of ''dragons''), Ike's just a down-to-earth human guy who happens to be insanely strong.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: The first hit of his mastery skill, Aether, consists of jumping several meters high and performing multiple somersaults before striking the enemy.

* RagsToRoyalty: After he gains peerage from being [[{{Knighting}} knighted]] by the princess of Crimea. Defied when he abandons his nobility after the war ends, mostly because of the controvercy of a mere mercenary at court and his dislike for politics and how the nobles act, including the backstabbing.

* RoyalRapier: The first sword-wielding lord in the series to ''avert'' this. Ike prefers his {{BFS}}. The Regal Sword he receives early on from his father functions like a typical ''Fire Emblem'' rapier in-game.

* SecretArt: In ''Heroes'', his ''Radiant Dawn'' incarnation has Radiant Aether, a souped-up version of Aether with a shorter cooldown.

* SignatureMove: As the first character to wield Aether, it is primarily associated with him. He has it as his mastery skill in both Tellius games, his up-B in ''Super Smash Bros.'', and his special skill for all three of his variations in ''Heroes''. Legendary, Valentine, and Fallen Ike even have their own personal variants of Aether with a shorter cooldown.
* TheStoic: Very silent and solemn in being withdrawn, Despite his loud and berserk fighting skills.

* SquishyWizard: Consider Ilyana's SquishyWizard entry further down. Soren's defense is [[UpToEleven actually worse]]. However, he is [[FragileSpeedster faster]].

* DrunkPersonalityChange: Subverted. His drunken personality is pretty much his normal one with the asshattery dialed UpToEleven.

* PantyShot: Not Ilyana levels, but present. [[http://i40.tinypic.com/120gi2e.jpg It's even in official artwork.]]

* BraidsOfAction: Which seem to [[RapunzelHair reach her knees!]]

* LargeAndInCharge: Downplayed example.. Come Radiant Dawn, he may not be the tallest or the bulkiest of his band, but he is certainly enough of both to strike an imposing figure. He's very tall in this game, so much that he's even taller than and Armor Knight.

* MsFanservice: She's actually practically dressed and shows very little skin, but the fandom is still ''very'' taken with her.
** In an odd reversal of the games usual infamous reputation of upping many characters fanservice quotas, her appearances in Fire Emblem Heroes averts this. Her physique is usually based on her Path of Radiance look so her breasts and overall figure is slimmer. Even her summer alt is rather reserved.

* {{BFS}}: His [[IconicItem trademark]] [[CoolSword Rag]][[InfinityPlusOneSword nell]]. Notably, Ike is strong enough to deftly wield this two-handed sword with ''{{one|HandedZweihander}}'' hand. It should be noted, however, that its size was somewhat exaggerated in ''Brawl''. ''Radiant Dawn'', however, has an older, brawnier Ike using the Ettard early in the story, which really is [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/a/a7/FE10_Ike_Hero_Battle_Model.png/revision/latest?cb=20120601030839 huge.]]
* BigEater: His appetite isn't just big compared to that of a Laguz; Titania puts him in the same league as Skrimir.

* EnsignNewbie: The prologue chapter is Ike's last day as a trainee, and Chapter 1 is his first day on the job. By Chapter 8 he's put in charge of the Greil Mercenaries, and by Chapter 18 he's put in charge of the Crimean Army. At 17, he's also one of the youngest playable characters, only older than characters like Mist and Sothe who are explicitly children.

* LargeAndInCharge: Downplayed example.. Come Radiant Dawn, he may not be the tallest or the bulkiest of his band, but he is certainly enough of both to strike an imposing figure.

* MagikarpPower: Yes, Ike himself is this--and probably the truest example. As the NewMeat in ''Path of Radiance'', he will have less health and speed than other mercenaries at the beginning of the game, and will die with ease dyue to his mediocre starting stats, compounded by an inability to use anything but swords, giving him no 1-2 range. Keep leveling him though, and he becomes an absolute {{Juggernaut}} and will be right up there with Boyd and Titania for kill count.

* MusclesAreMeaningful: He grows some serious muscle mass between ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'', to the point he's easily [[MrFanservice the most ripped Nintendo protagonist ever]] and most swords look slim in comparisonn to his arm. And of course, his stats grow accordingly.

* OneHandedZweihander: Downplayed. In the actual games, Ragnell seems to be a one-handed sword (albeit a [[{{BFS}} fairly large one]]. ''Brawl'', however, sizes it up a tad (closer to that of its sister sword Alondite) and treats it more like a claymore. Played straight with Ettard, his perrsonal sword in ''Radiant Dawn''.

* {{Retcon}}: Ragnell's size varied between the Wii games Ike appeared in. In the Tellius duology, the sword was big, but not quite enough to count as a true {{BFS}}. In fact, it looks positively ''thin'' compared to its wielder in ''Radiant Dawn''. ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, played up its size; probably to help him stand out from [[FragileSpeedster Marth]] and his Falchion more.

* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Like with all Lords in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, the game is over if Ike is defeated in combat. This carries on into ''Radiant Dawn'', as even though there's no actual Lord there (he starts as a Hero, and then promotes into a Vanguard), he still serves as the equivalent of the Lord class, and his death whenever he's playable will always cause a GameOver.

* BoomerangBigot: Soren's official dislikes are 'laguz and beorc', and he especially hates laguz. [[spoiler: He also happens to be Branded, meaning he's a laguz-beorc hybrid, not to mention his mom is Almedha. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because beorc and laguz both treat the Branded horribly, which almost resulted in Soren starving to death as a child]].

* IllBoy: Well, "ill" might not be the right word, but he isn't quite a prime example of healthiness. In his support with Titania, he explains it was impossible for him to find work before joining the Greil Mercenaries due to his weak constitution, and Rolf checks up on his fever in another support.

* ChasteHeroine: Even though she's incredibly nice to [[IllBoy Rhys]] and there's a decent amount of ShipTease between them, she seems to be pretty unaware of Rhys' crush on her, being completely focused on swordfighting.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Inherited from his late mother.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark green hair, just like his [[spoiler:mother Almedha, and uncles Kurthnaga and Rajaion.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green, just like his brothers.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is ''pink.'' Kind of strange, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold on a guy like him]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A bluish-purple...or a purplish-blue.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Very light green hair, unlike his older brothers' dark green. Makes sense, since they are half-brothers.
